Yeah, the standards seem to be lower in general. Probably because the barriers to entry are lower. (-: As an oldie, I try to be humble by remembering the Flynn effect. :-)

Exercise, take vacations and make certain you relax enough (a meditation-course is good; there are non-religious ones). Also, be careful with your teeth; an infection I had no other effects of, made me chronically tired for a long time and really destroyed my life (I thought I had burned out).

And work with stuff you care about, otherwise you'll probably hate yourself and everyone else.

Most other stuff you seem to know.

Sorry for that, but a 20-something trying to sound world weary needs a pat on the head. :-)
